Interestingly on our  recenttrip to Adelaide (via Wentworth and Broken Hill westbound and Echuca - Rutherglen  Eastbound) at end April early May we didn't see a single Apostlebird.

Signs of a drying inland??
 
driving back from Qld last week down through Coolah, Gulgong and Wellington there were clearly many more groups of Apostle Birds beside the road than I have ever seen previously.  The nearest group to Canberra was a few kms this side of Cowra – far closer to Canberra than I have ever encountered.
 
We could be in for a few interesting visitors over the next few months given the already dry conditions out west and the El Nino now established.
 
Also of interest ( and perhaps also an indicator of things out west) a number of pelicans on small property dams plus a pair of Black Falcons between Dunedoo and Gulgong
